Help Support Women & Children In Need! Safe Nest Luncheon Coming Up


With at least one in every three women having been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime, it’s time to rethink the pink this October and support locally-based Safe Nest and bring recognition to Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Serving approximately 50,000 people annually, Safe Nest is the primary provider of domestic violence services in Southern Nevada, is the only agency with access for 24/7 Emergency Temporary Protection Orders and has the largest, most comprehensive program for the entire state.  Throughout the month of October, Safe Nest offers a variety of ways to show your support and shed some light on such an important issue including the Annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month Luncheon on Friday, Oct. 14 from 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino – Brasilia Room. 

Celebrating its 33rd year, the Safe Nest Annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month Luncheon honors those who have died due to domestic violence, celebrates those who have survived, and connects those who strive to put an end to the violence.  The annual luncheon features a Keynote Address by MonaLou Callery from the National Advocacy & Training Network SEEDs Program.  Developed in 2003, SEEDs (Support, Education, Empowerment & DirectionS) addresses the unmet needs of battered and sexually abused women by providing them a community-based, safe, sober living environment committed to the physical, mental, and emotional healing of women whose lives have been affected by substance abuse and violence.  In addition to Callery, The Women’s Health Care Associates of Nevada will be recognized for a $10,000 donation to Safe Nest.  Guests of the luncheon can also be inspired by a survivor speaker and bid on a variety of silent auction items to benefit the organization.

In addition to the annual luncheon, community members can show their support through a variety of other activities in Las Vegas and Henderson including:

Oct. 4 at Dusk                     Purple lighting of Container Park dome
Oct. 6 at 10 a.m.                 Annual Domestic Violence Memorial at LVMPD (400 S. MLK Blvd.)
Oct. 7 6 – 9 p.m.                 Domestic Violence Awareness Month Art Showcase at Nest Studio (1800 S. Industrial Blvd.)

Las Vegans can also support Safe Nest while getting their daily dose of greens at Fruits & Roots Organic Juice Bar and Wellness Kitchen.  For the month of October, Fruits & Roots will donate 10 percent of “Cosmic Greens” to Safe Nest.  Developed locally by owner Patricia Kaytia as an homage to the late holistic healer Dr. Max Gerson, “Cosmic Greens” is purple to represent the color associated with domestic violence and contains purple cabbage, apple, green chard, bell pepper, watercress, romaine, lemon, and ginger.  “Cosmic Greens” is located at their southwest area location only at 7885 W. Sunset Rd.

People are also urged to bring general awareness to the problem of domestic violence by changing text and email colors to purple beginning Oct. 16 and wearing purple (from shirts to jewelry to hair) throughout the last week of the month.

A problem that impacts the safety and well-being of individuals, families and communities throughout Southern Nevada, domestic violence can take on multiple forms including physical, emotional and sexual abuse, financial control and social isolation.  It affects all communities, regardless of socioeconomic status, race or religion.  Safe Nest serves battered women (or men), children or teens affected by family violence, adolescents in violent dating relationships, offending partners, family member or significant others impacted by the violence, at-risk individuals, and the community at large by offering a variety of programming and services including counseling, crisis intervention, individual and group therapy, residential services, protection order assistance and employment/life-skill classes.  Safe Nest aims to put a stop to all immediate abuse and break the cycle of abuse for generations to come.

Established in 1977, Safe Nest is Nevada’s largest and most comprehensive non-profit agency devoted solely to domestic violence issues.  Serving approximately 50,000 people annually, Safe Nest’s programs include a 24-hour confidential shelter, a 24-hour hotline and protection order services, counseling, advocacy, court assistance, and prevention education.  For more information, please call 702-877-0133 or visit www.safenest.org.

Arriving the nightspot around 2:45 a.m. the artist and his group, which included tour-mates Lil Kim, French Montana, and Jadakiss got settled at VIP booth located on the Main Stage. The “Bad Boy for Life” singer looked handsome dressed in black pants, a long-sleeved black graphic t-shirt and sunglasses.

It Was A "The Killers" Celebration At Sam's Town For 10th Anniversary


On September 30th and October 1st, The Killers and fans took over the Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their sophomore album Sam's Town.  On both Friday and Saturday, fans gambled on Sam's Town themed blackjack tables with custom chips and indulged in specialty meals and cocktails inspired by the band's hits, all while listening to a curated playlist of Killers' songs pumping throughout the hotel and casino for the two day extravaganza.  The crowd went wild and sang every word during The Killers' dynamic live shows each night: an intimate two-song acoustic set poolside at sunset, followed later by a full performance of Sam's Town, along with other hits from the band's celebrated catalogue in the Sam's Town Live! venue.

100% of the proceeds from the Extravaganza benefitted Las Vegas charities Toni's House and First Friday Foundation, which support recovery for the homeless and those struggling with addiction and bring arts and culture initiatives to underserved communities.

Sam's Town producer Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins) flew in for the festivities, which also included the opportunity for fans to dive into the band's musical history with a two-hour bus tour of The Killers' Las Vegas that wound through band members' old haunts, locations of The Killers' first shows and their Battle Born Studios headquarters.

The Killers' vinyl re-issue of Sam's Town will be available for purchase this Friday, October 7th via Bong Load Records. One of the two bonus tracks featured on the re-issue, the never before released Sam's Town era demo "Peace of Mind," will be available as a digital single on all digital stores and streaming partners on October 7th.

The Killers released Sam's Town in 2006 - a heartfelt love letter to their hometown that was an RIAA platinum hit upon release, spent 42 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 and spawned hit singles "When You Were Young" (which was nominated for two Grammy awards) and "Read My Mind." Sam's Town has now sold over 5.5 million copies.

The Killers consists of Brandon Flowers (vocals/keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitars), Mark Stoermer (bass) and Ronnie Vannucci (drums).
